Rabbani Named For Pro-democracy Credentials: Nawaz   

Islamabad (March 08, 2018): Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif said on Thursday said that he proposed PPP Senator Raza Rabbani as he is someone who is committed 100 per cent to the Constitution and doesn’t have anti-democracy credentials.

He was talking to media after the accountability court granted him an exemption into the hearing of Avenfield reference case.

Nawaz said the his party and allies consulted over the Senate chairman’s post yesterday and all agreed on Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) Raza Rabbani, the incumbent chairman over his 100 percent commitment for the democracy.“There is no point placing someone on the seat who is compromised,” Nawaz explained further.

When asked about PPP leader Asif Ali Zardari’s refusal to appoint Rabbani, Nawaz said, “if his leadership doesn’t want to place him there then we’ll find someone like that in our own fold”.

Responding to cases against him, Nawaz said that the ongoing cases against him are part of a grand design and it has been six months since the corruption references were filed but charges have yet to be proved.“What charge is there against me,” questioned Nawaz, adding that had there been any corruption evidence it would have been proved in two months but here they’ve gotten an extension now”.

Referring to Avenfield supplementary reference witness Robert Radley, a forensic expert used by the Panama case joint investigation team (JIT) to build its case against Nawaz, Nawaz said Radley’s statement  was in our favour. This shows that lies have no basis.
